Nadia completed her Champion Title at age two and has been focused on performance events ever since. She is concentrating her efforts in Agility while also working in Obedience, Rally, and Barn Hunt. At just two-years of age, Nadia earned the Road Dog Title at her first Road Trial Event. Nadia is our first Dalmatian to participate in the sport of Barn Hunt, a relatively new canine sport that combines scent detection ability with search and hunting instinct. Her first weekend out in Barn Hunt competition she racked up six back-to-back Qualifying Runs and Two new Titles!
At the 2015 Dalmatian Club of America National Specialty, Nadia thrilled us by winning the Agility Novice Fast Class, and through a successful combination of performances in Agility, Rally, and Obedience, Nadia also earned the prestigious Dalmatian Club of America Triathlete Award! Later in 2015, Nadia qualified for an invite to the AKC Rally National Championships.
Nadia earned her second DCA Triathlete Award at the 2017 Dalmatian Club of America National Specialty. At that Specialty, Nadia won Open Agility Jumpers one day and placed second the next day to finish her Open Agility Jumpers Title (OAJ), and she won the Agility Open Fast Class one day to Title! The third day she qualified in two Obedience classes and one Rally class to complete the Triathlete Award.
